thehefnerTimes like this, I kinda wish I were still talking to Guy Bender. Or that Bloo and I were in more frequent contact like we used to be. Well, contact period. Dare I invoke a "le sigh"? I think this news warrants it.
So the first official image of Heath Ledger's Joker has hit the internet. Well, by all accounts is IS real this time, finally*. Want to see it?

1. Go to www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com.** (don't add your e-mail addy at that bottom, though)
2. Load the page, which is fucking creepy.
3. Wait about twenty to thirty seconds for the big reveal and NNNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUURGH AIIIIIIEEE. You have to wait for it.

On one hand, it's creepy. It's definitely that.
On the other hand...
...
Look. I've been apprehensive from the very start, once it was announced that Heath fucking Ledger would be playing the Joker. I don't... no, I cannot in a MILLION years imagine this ever, ever, ever working.*** However, Nolan knocked the casting ball out of the park in BATMAN BEGINS, so he's earned my trust. We'll wait and see.
And I'm still "we'll wait and see." Nothing's changed. The fact that it's Heath Ledger, that alone concerns me more than making the Joker look like a refugee from Slipknot. With raccoon eyes, no less.
Although it would be a bit better is he were actually smiling. As such, I'm making the exact same face as Heath is here in this picture, and that's good for no one.
All that said? I still believe in Harvey Dent.
*We've seen at least one or two hoaxes that have been picked up as "real" news by aintitcool.com, chud.com, and other assorted geek news sites. So I am kinda hoping this, too, proves to be just another hoax.
**Dude, why the hell doesn't HTML linking work on my LJ anymore? When I do them, and people click on the links, the address is the website PLUS my entire LJ url. What the hell?
***My top four choices for live-action Joker, in no particular order, are still Christopher Eccleston, Mark Hamill, Michael Keaton, and Willhem Dafoe
